The Unsolved Case is a murder mystery evening held at Sunnycroft. The plot centres on the return of the house to its owner after six years of war. Tickets are listed at £0.
After six long years of war, Sunnycroft is finally being returned to its rightful owner. As part of the war effort, the house was used for secret intelligence work.
Now the war is over, the military has gone, and the owners have come home at last. But a shadow still hangs over Sunnycroft.
Shortly after the military departed, notorious local Herbert Pugh was found dead in the house. Some said he was simply curious. Others believed he knew more than he let on.
Despite a police investigation, no culprit was ever identified. The case remains unsolved.
Convinced there is more to the story, Sunnycroft's owner is determined to uncover the truth. With the help of her guests, and perhaps a little amateur detective work, she hopes to succeed where the police failed.
Can you crack the code, uncover the killer, and finally solve The Unsolved Case of Herbert Pugh?
The experience runs on Thursday 24, Friday 25 and Saturday 26 September and is suitable for adults aged 18 and over. Guests are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the occasion and dress in their finest 1940s attire. Please wear sensible footwear, as you'll be moving throughout the historic house during the investigation.
